Antonio Cromartie would like to return to the Jets, but team owner Woody Johnson should not expect the free agent cornerback to come cheaply.

Cromartie appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio yesterday and sounded like a man ready to test the free agent waters once the NFL lockout ends.

“I would love to be a Jet at the end of the day,” Cromartie said. “But I also want to go out and see what the market is and see what my value is. At the end of the day, to me there is no such thing as no hometown discount. I’m not giving anybody no hometown discount.”

It is expected that teams will have a three-day exclusive negotiating window to sign their own free agents. It did not sound as if Cromartie expects to get a deal done during that period. He wants to see what other teams have to offer, and perhaps what top free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha sets the market at.

“I’m definitely going to see what the [Jets] organization says, and then also let them know I would like to go out and test the market and see what my value is,” Cromartie said.

The 27-year-old had 42 tackles and three interceptions in his first year with the Jets after coming over from the Chargers in a trade.

He labeled his chances of returning to Gang Green as “great.”

“I love the organization,” Cromartie said. “They’re a first-class organization that has always been there for their players. They’re all about their players. . . . For me it would be a great opportunity to be back there and to play alongside [Darrelle] Revis and to play in that defense I’ve been a part of. Rex Ryan is a great coach and I love playing for him.”

If the NFL lockout ends this week as expected, reports indicate teams will be able to begin negotiations with their own free agents Monday. Then other teams can begin talks with them on July 28. Cromartie listed the Texans, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Cardinals, Cowboys and the Raiders as possible teams he could sign with.

Cromartie is one of several high-profile free agents the Jets must deal with immediately. Top receivers Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards also are set to hit the open market.

Cromartie said he believes he is one of the Jets’ top priorities.

“I personally think that I rank number one, either one or two,” he said. “Santonio is a great receiver. He brings so much to the offense.”
